In countries other than the USA, a merchant account (i.e., the authority to accept credit cards) must be obtained from a bank, not from iTransact. Therefore, if you are outside the US and would like iTransact's Market America E-Commerce service, you must apply as a US merchant: you must have a US Social Security number, a checking account in a US bank, and a physical business address within the 50 United States. Please apply here. Canadian Distributors Some Canadian distributors have set up with iTransact using merchant accounts obtained from First Data Canada and TD Bank. If you are one of these distributors, your payment gateway (the mechanism for processing credit cards, e.g., the Virtual Terminal) is provided by iTransact and billed by iTransact at a price of C$9.95 per month. Your merchant account (the authority to accept credit cards) is provided by First Data Canada and TD Bank and is billed by those entities at prices they have established. For questions about your iTransact payment gateway, please contact iTransact. For questions specifically about your existing First Data Canada/TD Bank merchant account, please contact those entities using the contact information they have provided on your monthly merchant statements. First Data Canada can also be reached at 888-263-1938. iTransact is unfortunately limited in its ability to assist with Canadian merchant accounts, so if you are a Canadian distributor who would like to set up a new iTransact account, we recommend applying with our US processor as a US merchant. See "Distributors Outside the US" above. |
